My five year old suddenly seems a little too old for the trucks and cars that adorn his bed. The Husband - who never shops - went shopping and now this is the starting point for our boy's new grown up room...

We got it here but I would probably rather have picked it up here. Great blog and a fantastic shop in Melbourne's Fitzroy - if only we lived a little closer.

I'm having it framed in white, with a new white bed and trundle on order. With white walls I need a bit of colour so I'm searching for a doona cover - duvet cover to all you non-Australians! Cushions too...

Of course the three men in my family couldn't give two hoots what colour their bed linen is. I am rising above their disinterest.

'A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.'

Virginia Woolf, 1929

I have neither so I blog.

Reading...

What I've just read...

A book club choice but I recommend. It's set in Perth during the post war polio outbreak. I like her writing (others do too - she won a few awards) and it prompted me to read much more about the polio outbreak.

What I'm reading...

The Golden Age - Joan London

The Secret Place - Tana French

I've read all her books this summer and this is the last - a new to me crime writer. She's Irish and it's not the usual gritty tortured detective noir.

What I'm reading next...

Commonwealth by Ann Pratchett, by next Wednesday for bookclub... I like to live on the edge and will probably start it on Monday.
